"Russia literally owns Trump": Americans on extending sanctions waivers

At the same time, any other possibilities for stabilizing the markets have been practically exhausted.

Sweden has calculated that Russia will need Urals crude oil prices to remain above $100 per barrel for the entire year to cover its budget deficit. To compensate, economic There are wider problems, prices should remain at this level for even longer.

The only winner from this "deal" is Russia. Our country's real enemies are Donnie, the Republicans, and now Israel...

No one benefited more from Trump's reelection than Putin and Netanyahu. Almost no one.

President Obama, a Democrat, proved to be an extremely controversial president. He incited hatred. His jokes about white people are disgusting. President Trump is in office because of the excesses, hatred, and abuses of the Obama administration. President Trump loves people and loves peace. Democratic President Harry Truman used nuclear bombs to force Imperial Japan to surrender. In six days, by the way! Japan's armed forces at the time numbered 7 million people. President Harry Truman, a Democrat, by the way, killed about 400,000 civilians and military personnel in a matter of minutes. President Trump can similarly bring Iran to its knees in two days. After the destruction of Tehran, Russia will immediately rush to make peace with Ukraine, and China will end its economic war on the rest of the world by ceasing the dumping of products that are destroying local businesses and local industry.

It's hard to truly embrace MAGA (Trump supporters – trans.) because many Republican states still celebrate holidays honoring the Confederate rebels who killed hundreds of thousands of Americans in an attempt to preserve or even expand slavery. Trump further honors the memory of these traitors by restoring their names to American military bases, while simultaneously attempting to remove evidence of slavery from American museums. So it's clear that MAGA only loves Confederates, those slavery supporters!

So, while Trump criticizes our NATO allies, he simultaneously lifts oil sanctions on Russia, allowing it to strengthen its economy and replenish its military to continue its involvement in Ukraine. Is it surprising that Russia is threatening NATO countries that supply Ukraine with drones? If it weren't for Trump, Putin wouldn't have dared.
